Leaves of Murraya koenigii (Linn.) Spreng. (Curry patta) are reported to possess antidiabetic, antimicrobial, cytotoxic and anti-inflammatory activity. In the present study immunomodulatory potential of aqueous extract of its leaves on specific (humoral and cell mediated) and non specific (macrophage) immunity in mice was investigated. Oral administration of the aqueous extract of leaves at the...

BACKGROUND Traditionally GS is used to treat diabetes mellitus. Drug-herb interaction of GS via cytochrome P450 enzyme system by substrate cocktail method using HLM has not been reported. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the in-vitro modulatory effects of GS extracts (aqueous, methanol, ethyl acetate, chloroform and n-hexane) and deacylgymnemic acid (DGA) on human CYP1A2, 2C8, 2C9, 2D6 and 3A4 activitie...

We have investigated effect of Moringa oleifera leaf and fruit extracts on markers of oxidative stress, its toxicity evaluation, and correlation with antioxidant properties using in vitro and in vitro assays. The aqueous extract of leaf was able to increase the GSH and reduce MDA level in a concentration-dependent manner. The ethanolic extract of fruit showed highest phenolic content, strong re...

background and objective: in this research, the effect of chronic dietary soybean aqueous extract on aortic reactivity of streptozotocin (stz)-diabetic rats was investigated. materials and methods: stz-diabetic rats were treated with soybean aqueous extract for two months after diabetes induction. contractile reactivity to kcl and phenylephrine (pe) and relaxation response to acetylcholine (ach...

Studies made on aqueous root extract of Selayak Hitam, a plant alleged to possess abortifacient activity in pregnant mothers established that the extract is teratogenic and did in fact cause abortion in mice. It was also observed that the aqueous root extract is relatively toxic as judged by the number of deaths occuring following administration of the extract. The mechanism by which abortion i...

diabetes mellitus is associated with complications in several different systems of the body, and the incidence of diabetes is rapidly increasing worldwide. the objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of aqueous extract of cydonia oblonga mill. fruit on lipid profile and some biochemical parameters in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. the extract showed anti hyper lipidemic...
